API 602 Gate Valve
1. Product Overview

A forged steel gate valve manufactured to API 602, SW ends, OS&Y.
Metals Valve provides forged steel API 602 gate valves in sizes 4″ and smaller for natural gas and petroleum industries, as well as power plant services. Pressure designation: includes Class 150, Class 300, Class 600, Class 800, Class 900 and Class 1500. Size range: 1/4″(DN 8) ~ 4″(DN 100).
Design Standards: API 602, ISO 15761, BS5351; End Connections: Butt Welding(BW)-ASME B16.25, Socket Welding(SW)-ASME B16.11, Threaded-ASME B1.20.1; Hydraulic and Air Test: API 598; Pressure & Ratings: ASME B16.34.
Design Features: bolted bonnet, welded bonnet, pressure sealed bonnet; fully guided one-piece solid wedge to reduce wear on seating surfaces; effective back seating design and packing mechanism to ensure a tight stem seal; outside screw and yoke(OS&Y) with rising stem; Tee-head stem design to prevent the stem from becoming disengaged from the wedge while the valve is in service. Half grooved/ recessed body-bonnet joint design to accommodate spiral wound stainless steel gasket for a tight body-bonnet sealing. Hard faced surfaces of both seating rings and the wedge to provide excellent wear resistance.
